Hi
I know that this has been requested before but I can't find any replies so here goes.
I have a crashed HP NC 4000. It will only boot up to the first display window where I can select F10 to select some options.
The options are limited. There is a boot from floppy but it is greyed out and no mention of a DVD boot
Someone said that the operating system (XP) has to be downloaded from a network but how ?
After the F10 saga there is only a blank screen.
I can't find any way of re loading the XP operating system. The machine doesn't want to talk to an external DVD drive.
I have plugged a network cable in but presumably you need the operating system up to get on line.
How do you get a new XP operating system loaded into a dead NC 4000.
Would appreciate some pointers
Regards
Harry
